Egyptian City printed in Natural Wood PLA
Posted: Fri Sep 11, 2015 11:53 pm
I got some natural wood PLA filament in last week and decided to have a little fun. It is not the easiest stuff to work with (It's like printing gloppy sawdust), and it is very temperature temperamental stuff. It can also get eaten up by the extruder if your retraction is set too fast and can clog a 0.5mm nozzle. All that said, I persevered. I spent some time on TinkerCAD designing custom Egyptian houses and temples from scratch and wanted to print them in the wood as board game pieces because the wood looks a bit like the brownish stone I saw when I was in Egypt for a couple of weeks way back in the 90's. Enjoy my fun little city scape. Now, back to printing a Minecraft chess set for my eldest as a Christmas present!
